Lionel Messi is one of the most popular soccer players right now, so of course Kim Kardashian’s sports-loving son Saint, 7, is a fan. The World Cup winner just made his Major League Soccer (MLS) debut as part of Inter Miami CF — a team co-owned by iconic soccer star David Beckham! — and Kardashian and Saint went to cheer him on. While they were there, the mother-son duo gave a press interview, and Saint was so cute as he got excited about the grossest thing.

Saint Interrupts His Mom

Kardashian wore a white crop top and jeans at the event, and her son was standing right behind her during the interview, acting silly and smiling for the camera.
She revealed that her son brought her out to the game. “He’s obsessed with soccer. And I will do everything for my babies. So I’ve traveled the world. We do soccer trips and it’s not stopping. All summer we’re going to different exhibition games.”
At this point, Saint interrupted Kardashian, and she smiled and told him to stop, prompting him to walk back toward his friend.
The Kardashians star said she was a goalie and center forward and played soccer for “five or six years” when she was younger. “I wasn’t bad,” she said. “I loved it. So I’m happy that my boy loves it and that we can come and hang out.”
Saint excitedly walked up to his mom to show her something, and like any 7-year-old boy, he was happy about the grossest thing.
“He has the players’ sweat on him,” she told the reporter. “Oh my gosh. They’re so excited. That just makes me so excited. I’m happy to be here with Victoria and David [Beckham] and everyone.”
She added that his favorite player was “absolutely Messi.”
